Hannity’s Desperate Hatred For Obama: The Quiz Show

Last night, Sean Hannity devoted an entire segment to a quiz show where all the questions were, “Who said…” followed by a verbal gaffe. All the answers were multiple choice: George W. Bush, Sarah Palin or Barack Obama. Guess what the answer was each time?

This segment really has to be seen to be believed. Even the Obama-hating guests, Monica Crowley and Andrea Tantaros, seemed to find it a bit tiresome. Crowley announced she was sensing a predictable pattern - as Hannity pretended he was Regis Philbin and asked, “Is that your final answer?” Tantaros suggested Obama’s real errors were ones of policy, not having said he visited "57 states" nor wondering how to say something “in Austrian.” But Hannity gloated, “You won’t see this anywhere else but here because we’re vetting the president!”

So let’s ask a few questions of our own:

Who sits on the advisory board of a charity run by a guy who says:

"Thank God for slavery,’ because, you know, had not, then the blacks over here would have been stuck in Africa… The ride over was pretty tough but you know, it’s like riding on a crowded airplane when you’re not in First Class. It’s a tough ride. But you’re happy when you get to your desitination.”

Who repeatedly welcomed white supremacist Hal Turner to his radio show, even after Turner said, were it not for the graciousness of the white man, “black people would still be swinging on trees in Africa?”

Which TV host refused to allow a guest to challenge another guest who said:

“Most blacks, not all but most in Tennessee, especially in the Memphis, Tennessee area, are still living in the 50’s and 60’s. They are so racist that they don’t even realize that white Americans have moved on. And so whenever there’s a campaign like this, such as this, they always use racism in order to intimidate white America.”

Question 2: He was absolutely correct, we got lazy trying to get foreign companies to build factories and businesses in America. As for question 5:
Using the website FuelEconomy.gov, Verrastro writes, we can estimate that “the maximum (estimated) fuel economy (i.e., mileage) savings drivers could expect as a result of keeping their engines properly tuned (4%), replacing air filters (up to 10%), properly inflating tires (up to 3%) and using the correct motor oil (1-2%) is 18-19%. Since American drivers use roughly 380 million gallons of gasoline (not including diesel) per day, an 18% improvement translates into a savings of 68 million gallons, or 1.62 million barrels of oil per day.” So he’s right again. Fox can’t even put somebody down without making complete jackasses of themselves.

It’s a ratings grab- As I’ve explained in previous comments and on Facebook, Fox News’ ratings have been declining for a while, and for the last six weeks… the decline has been a flat out nosedive.

They don’t know how to do real news, let alone get ratings from it. Their mostly newsblock weekend coming in 3rd to last most of the time is a testament to that. So they’re getting more and more over the top with their stunts.

Ellen, you’re right. This type of ‘game’ just shows the growing desperation of Fox. They must feel that the support of some of the base is eroding as the economy improves, Romney-mania doesn’t occur, and even the goobers are realizing what they will lose if the HCA is repealed.
Whatever the Fox feelings about Obama, they do NOT think he is stupid. They’re just doing their best to insure that their base does.
